Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

I am filing a formal safety complaint regarding a persistent and unacceptable failure with my 2021 Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss. The vehicle intermittently fails to start due to a recurring “Service Steering Column Lock” error. While the key fob still locks, unlocks, and remote starts the truck, the push-to-start system becomes entirely non-functional once inside the vehicle. This defect is not only frustrating — it’s dangerous. My wife has already been stranded twice, once in below-freezing temperatures in January, and again in May, causing her to be late for work and left alone at night in unsafe conditions. A truck purchased for over $60,000, marketed as rugged and dependable, should not be experiencing a critical failure like this at just 48,000 miles. What’s more concerning is that this appears to be a known issue within the GM community, with no official recall despite Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) acknowledging the problem. Customers are being left with unreliable transportation and no consistent fix. This failure is both a mechanical and safety issue, leaving drivers vulnerable without warning. I urge NHTSA to investigate this defect, pressure GM for a formal recall, and ensure corrective action is taken before someone is injured due to being stranded or the failure progressing to more critical steering or ignition malfunctions.

I traded it in on Tundra. And now I find out about the recall. It was the 8cyl engine currently under recall.

Potential Consequences:

Driving the truck at 45 mph, the engine stalled and the dash had all the lights on showing codes. Had it towed home and called the dealership the next business day. I was told it was the drive belt pulley that had gone bad causing loss of engine power. I had that replaced and the dealership then told me that the lifters were bad. I had to get that replaced because I needed my truck. The dealership had had it for almost three weeks at that point. $1300 to replace a lifter.
